ANNUAL REPORT OF CIVIC ASSOCIATION OŽIVENÍ, o.s. - 2008
PROGRAM CORRUPTION-LESS
After years of gathering experiences on how the public institutions work, Oživení has expanded its activities and has started to work on the systematic prevention and detection of conflict-of-interests and corruption in the public sector within the scope of program "Corruption-less”. We aim to curb corrupt behavior, clientelism or the presence of a similar harmful phenomenon in our society by forcing higher transparency in a decision making and management in the public sector, highlighting conflict-of-interests of our public officials and politicians, enforcing personal responsibility for their erroneous decisions, our participation and involvement of active citizens in decision making processes and public administration.
